Model: Deco X50 - PoE  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi,

 

I have 2 Deco X50 POE set up, one in the front half of the house and another in the back half. The one in the front is he one connected to the NBN box.
 

For whatever reason it connects all my devices to the second unit only and refuses to keep connection to the one in the front even if I choose that one as the preferred option for each device. There's multiple devices that show low signal, yet it keeps the connection on the second unit. 

Can anyone help with this?

Hi, welcome to the community.

Can I have the firmware version of your Deco X50-POE?

 

If possible, it is recommended to set the second X50-POE as the main Deco to see whether the same issue continues:

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Hi,

FW version is 1.4.9 Build 20250110 Rel. 65349. The same for both Deco units. 

When I set the second unit as the 'main deco', the whole system doesn't connection to the internet.
